It is so great to see live opera at the cinema. You probably get a better view than you would at the 'house'.
Loved the singing and performances frlom Kristina and Jonas were superb and they looked so good together. Very confused with some of the scenery design but fortunately it did not distract from the performance. Looking forward to the next cinema live production.
